Panaji: In a boost to medical education sector in Goa, new private medical college is going to be set up in the south district. This was recently announced by the Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.
He said on Friday that his government has decided to establish a private medical college, under a trust, in the South district, quotes IANS.
The Chief Minister said that the private medical college will run along the lines of Goa Medical College (government) in North, providing free treatment to patients and will also reserve seats for the Goan students.
“We will form a trust, which will be headed by the Chief Minister and opposition leader along with MLA of political parties who represent the assembly will be members,” Sawant said while addressing a press conference after the cabinet meeting.
He said that this college will be initially established in the existing South Goa District Hospital (SGDH), the model of which is finalised by NITI Ayog.
“We will have administrative control on it, though it will be run by a private operator,” Sawant said, adding land will be allotted to this college near SGDH, reports IANS.
